[0001] This application claims priority to PCT Application No. PCT / EP2015 / 055958, having a filing date of Mar. 20, 2015, based off of EP Application No. 14187085.7 having a filing date of Sep. 30, 2014, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY
[0002] The following refers to a charging system with a high temperature thermal energy exchange system and a method for charging heat storage material of the high temperature thermal energy exchange system with thermal energy.BACKGROUND
[0003] Despite the integration of renewable energy into the public electric energy system (power grid) a large share of electricity is nowadays still generated by fossil energy sources. But the global climate change requires the further development of renewable energies.
[0004] The energy output of renewable energy sources like wind and solar is not constant throughout a day or throughout a year. Consequently, electricity which is gen...
